After taking the quizzes about children in other countries, add what you have learned about the differences in how children are treated around the world. Feel free to add categories that are not already here. I've put a few just to get you started. Content for this site came from visiting the Unicef, voices of youth web site. For more information about Children's rights visit Girl Children How are female children in other parts of the world treated differently than male? Why is it this way? What could be done to change the way female children are treated in these countries?
They are sometimes forced to have an early marriage. Here in America you can get married at any age. It is that way because the families think it is the right thing to do. I think the government should make a law that lets any girl or woman get married at any age they want. Marrying at an early age causes teen pregnancy. If we make a law in which you can marry at any age, children will get married at an appropriate age and won't get pregnant at any early age.More teens die from childbirth at an early age.
They sometimes aren't allowed to go to school as many times as a boy might. Also, they are looked at as if they have less status than boys in their families and in their community. Sometimes it is in their traditions to get married at early ages, and I don't believe that is right.
When they allow the girls to have babies it can cause the babies to have birth effects.The parents think that the girls aren't as highly qualified for school and sometimes don't think they are as highly educated as boys.
They are not treated equal, because people in other countries sometimes favor girls over boys. The reason why is because they think that since the boys will bring the home income they don't need to rely on the girl. So when they do have a girl they will keep on having babies until they get a boy and sometimes that can really add up. I think that the other countries can just treat them as equals and not like they are inferior to boys and stop making them marry at young ages and have babies, because it not only can harm their life but, it can harm the life of the young one if they don't know how to properly take care of them.
Vaccines Explain how vaccines are helping children in the world. What children still need help? Why aren't all children vaccinated? What can be done about this?
Vaccines are helping children all around the world because they can prevent infectious diseases. Not all children are vaccinated because the vaccines are too expensive. To help get a child vaccinated there are charities and funds you can give money to.
Vaccines are very helpful for younger children. Their immune systems aren't developed well enough to where they will be affected worse than adults. Once they get those vaccinations their immune system will know how to fight off the disease.
Vaccinations are very helpful because they immunize children everywhere and can stop or reduce deadly diseases from spreading. You should be vaccinated regularly and get your vaccines as an infant especially. Getting vaccines early in life is important because diseases are easier to get as a child.
Every child should have a vaccination. Fortunately, people are really striving to do this. Kids all over the world still need help, so we are doing all we can. Children at Work Children in other countries often have to work instead of go to school or play. Why is this happening? What can be done to help them?
Some children must work because their family doesn't make enough money to support them on their own.
